Chapter 316: Starlight's Ascension, The Night Demon's Move (Part 2)
"Damn it! Even if I give you a pavilion master position, you still won't hand it over? You want to keep being a commander? Are you brainless?"
The Seal God Palace scolded.
Fang Che's heart relaxed.
I bet right!
Immediately, he was overjoyed.
"Master, when? I'll hand it over, I'll do it right away! I can hand it over now!"
"You're dreaming! The branch hasn't even been inspected, and you want to be a pavilion master? Wait, I don't cherish this branch. You're like a miser, it's disgusting."
"Master, I'm not being a miser, I can hand it over now. I don't know which pavilion Master wants me to be the pavilion master of?"
"Get lost! With your current cultivation, you want to be a pavilion master? What are you thinking? Focus on cultivating!"
"Then, Master... when will the inspection be?"
"I don't know, get lost!"
"Master, I miss you..."
"Get lost!"
The Seal God Palace put down the communication jade, and couldn't help but feel a bit lost. He sighed softly, I miss that little monkey a bit...
Even when they meet, there will still be a test.
Yin Shengong sighed inwardly, but his decision remained unchanged.
As a member of the Demon Sect, it was absolutely unacceptable to never kill the Protectors.
Because, over time, one could become heavily assimilated, and after forming emotional attachments, one would be hesitant to kill.
That was a fatal weakness.
"It’s not that the master is heartless... but as a spy, one cannot have emotions!"
Yin Shengong sighed softly, "Only by killing them can you truly realize in your heart that you are not one of them! You and they are enemies!"
"This is a dividing line."
"Staying with the righteous side for too long, you might feel that killing Demon Sect members is natural and right. That's even worse!"
"The Night Demon values emotions and righteousness the most, making it the easiest to be assimilated. Therefore, this test must be strictly controlled!"
The old demon felt much better and sent a message to Mu Lin Yuan: "Old Mu, come and drink with me."
Mu Lin Yuan came quickly, accompanied by Qian Sanjiang and Hou Fang.
All three were somewhat surprised.
Since the last argument, it had been over twenty days since they had drunk together. What was going on today?
Yin Shengong said, "I'll make a few dishes in a bit. Drink a little. The ban should be lifted soon. I submitted a report, and Mei Da Ren said it was almost done a few days ago. We just need to wait for the order."
"This is good news, worth celebrating."
Yin Shengong smiled broadly.
Mu Lin Yuan and the other three were somewhat skeptical.
What was going on?
A few days ago, you said it was almost done, and now you're coming to celebrate with us? Don't you think this celebration is a bit late?
Seeing Yin Shengong's ruddy face, Mu Lin Yuan suddenly understood.
He couldn't help but tease, "Sect Leader, did your disciple soften you up?"
Suddenly!
Yin Shengong's face turned red, and he flew into a rage, slamming the table, "Nonsense! Mu Lin Yuan, what do you mean? Disrespecting the Sect Leader? If anyone is being softened up, it's me!"
Mu Lin Yuan quickly admitted his mistake, "Sect Leader, I was wrong... I'll drink as a penalty, I'll drink voluntarily."
Qian Sanjiang and Hou Fang also felt relieved, smiling, "We'll drink as a penalty too, willingly."
Yin Shengong glared at them, "Damn, are you celebrating without me? And drinking as a penalty?! Show some respect!"
The four of them laughed heartily together.
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
...
Meanwhile, Fang Che was patrolling the streets.
Suddenly, he received a message.
"Brother Night Demon, the person you sent to deliver something has arrived in White Cloud Continent. They are currently in the south of White Cloud City... the specific location is..."
Fang Che was startled.
This was Black Sun!
Fang Che was puzzled.
It's been a month since you said you'd send something. Only now it arrives?
Did the person you sent crawl here?
So he replied, "I won't be back in White Cloud Continent until tomorrow. Can your person wait?"
Black Sun immediately replied, "No problem. Where do you feel more comfortable receiving it?"
Fang Che was a bit surprised.
This Black Sun is something else. He can actually guess my thoughts.
So he immediately replied, "In White Cloud City, near the Guardian Pavilion. A place where I can betray him at any time and he can't escape."
Over there.
Chen Yin's face turned dark instantly.
Damn... do you have to be so straightforward!?
Chen Yin, with a dark face, said, "So, I'll wait for your message tomorrow?"
"Okay."
Putting down the communication jade, Fang Che started to think.
Is he really delivering something?
Or is he testing me?
Where is it safer to meet?
Fang Che patrolled the streets with these questions in mind, pondering.
The Night Demon has been absent for a long time. Should he reappear? Recently, among the new arrivals in the Skyline Security Bureau, there are about ten who are quite annoying.
They clearly practice evil techniques.
But there's no reason to expel them yet. Should I eliminate them?
...
In the evening.
After assigning the night patrols, Zhao Wu Shang and Zheng Yunqi, among others, saw that the time for the Branch Leader to arrive was almost over and began to relax.
"It seems the Chief won't be coming tonight."
Now, under the subtle influence, the term 'Branch Leader' was rarely mentioned.
Even if Starlight Branch Leader came at night, everyone still called him 'Chief.'
This had gradually become a habit.
"You guys are just too tense."
A guy with yellow hair, leading about eight or nine people, walked into the hall and laughed, "Even though Starlight Branch Leader is fierce, he still has some reservations about us at headquarters. Although the rules are strict, he hasn't killed anyone."
These guys arrived the latest and, while they outwardly complied with the brainwashing, they inwardly scoffed at it.
They didn't know how formidable Starlight Branch Leader was. They thought Zheng Yunqi and the others were making a big deal out of nothing, exaggerating Starlight Branch Leader's prowess.
Zheng Yunqi's face changed, and she angrily said, "Cheng Yunfeng, if you want to die, don't drag us along!"
"Ha ha..."
Cheng Yunfeng sneered, about to leave, "I'll find a place to drink."
Zheng Yunqi warned, "Cheng Yunfeng, I'm warning you, don't act rashly. Once you do, no one can protect you. When the Branch Leader gets angry, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Cheng Yunfeng said coolly, "I've already told my family that if I die, it was Starlight Branch Leader's doing."
He turned and smiled, "Do you think Starlight Branch Leader is a Night Demon?"
Just then, a cold voice said, "What Starlight? What Night Demon? I don't understand."
Zheng Yunqi and the others were greatly startled, looking up.
They saw a burly man with a beard, holding a sword, appear silently at the hall's entrance.
The moment this figure appeared, the hall was filled with a pervasive killing aura and a fierce, oppressive energy, making the entire security bureau feel like it had been frozen!
Zhao Wu Shang and Zheng Yunqi felt their hearts freeze as well.
Even speaking was impossible.
That murderous aura was suffocating!
Everyone trembled uncontrollably.
All eyes were on the person before them.
Not tall, but robust and bearded, with a longsword, his murderous aura was overwhelming and his killing intent soared to the heavens!
Such a person only existed in legends, and everyone knew who this person was.
The world-renowned peerless killer, who single-handedly eliminated over thirty thousand people in the Cultivation Divine Plan, monopolizing the top spot—
Night Demon!
The most feared young killer of his generation!
Night Demon glanced at Huang Mao and the others with a hint of annoyance, then asked, "Where's Xing Mang?"
His voice carried a chilling intent.
Zhou Mei'er and the others immediately answered, confirming Xing Mang's identity.
Zheng Yunqi gathered his courage and trembled, "The Starlight Commander is not here. Are you Night Demon?"
Night Demon hummed coldly, giving off an air of nonchalance, "Is this the state of the branch office that Xing Mang set up? So lacking in discipline!"
In an instant, everyone in the hall, both inside and outside, knelt in unison, "We pay our respects to Night Demon!"
Everyone had the same feeling: this Night Demon gave off a completely different aura from Xing Mang. Xing Mang was known for his volatile temper, unpredictable moods, and outbursts like a madman.
But this Night Demon seemed calm, as if nothing could faze him.
However, this nonchalant demeanor also brought a pressure several times more intense than Xing Mang's.
Although Xing Mang enjoyed scolding people, he hadn't actually killed many. But the aura Night Demon exuded made everyone feel that... in his eyes, all lives were insignificant, not worth mentioning.
Night Demon spoke coldly, "I have no relation to you, no need to kneel. I'm here only to ask Xing Mang why he's inquiring about my whereabouts. Is he seeking death?"
The last five words were spoken with a surge of murderous intent.
Suddenly, the air turned frigid.
Even Zhou Mei'er, several dozen zhang away, felt goosebumps and dared not breathe.
What had the Starlight Commander done to offend Night Demon?
Those whose family members had died at Night Demon's hands during the Cultivation Divine Plan trembled even more.
Damn... I was thinking of killing Night Demon just a moment ago.
What the hell...
He just showed up, and I'm already kneeling. What's this about killing?
Good thing I didn't try, or I'd be three zhang tall in my grave.
"The Starlight Commander rarely comes here, and we don't know what he's doing either... Night Demon, you..." Zheng Yunqi mustered his courage.
Night Demon glanced at him indifferently and said, "Tell Xing Mang that if he dares to be reckless again, this will be his fate."
Suddenly, the sword's light flashed.
Ten people among those kneeling before him fell silently.
It was Cheng Yunfeng and the others who had been arrogant just moments ago.
Each person clutched their throats, their eyes dimming as the sound of their gurgling throats filled the air.
They were dead.
Their hands released.
Revealing a pale neck.
There was only a small red dot.
A single point of red on the neck—a killing without bloodshed.
Zheng Yunqi and Zhao Wushang knelt with their heads lowered, cold sweat dripping from their bodies.
He killed them just like that?
He took their lives so casually? I thought they were just chatting, but with a single sword, he killed ten?
"Tell Xing Mang to stop investigating me." Night Demon spoke amiably.
"Yes, Your Excellency's command!" The crowd didn't dare lift their heads.
Each person's heart chilled.
What if I look up and Night Demon doesn't like it?
A swishing sound.
Zheng Yunqi, still kneeling, saw Night Demon slice Cheng Yunfeng's corpse in half, his organs spilling onto the ground.
Night Demon's sword tip dragged through the corpse, examining the extent of the sword energy's damage to the dantian and brain.
After a moment, Night Demon spoke gently, "I've disturbed you. Help Xing Mang clean up this mess, and tell him not to be too grateful."
With a whoosh, Night Demon vanished without a trace.
...
It wasn't until several breaths later that someone dared to move. They stood up, shivering, each feeling like they had narrowly escaped death.
This feeling was even more intense than when they had been reported.
"Oh my god... Is this Night Demon?" Zhou Mei'er stammered.
"..." The others couldn't speak.
They wanted to talk, but their teeth chattered, making it impossible.
It was only after some time that they finally calmed down and gathered the courage to examine the corpses.
"A single point of red... Truly Night Demon's signature."
"This Cheng Yunfeng... was just boasting moments ago, and now he's like this."
"Night Demon even split his head open, examining something?"
"I know this much—Night Demon's Blood Spirit Seven Swords. One point at the throat, the sword energy splits upwards and downwards. One path destroys the dantian, the other the spirit."
"Yes, Night Demon is checking if his sword energy has reached perfection."
"Ugh... This is too cruel... Using a living person for experimentation..."
"Heh... Is this cruelty? Night Demon slaughtered over thirty thousand of his peers! Isn't that more cruel?"
"Look at their brains, can you see any difference? The dantian is a mess, that's obvious...
"You'd know if you compared by cutting open your brain!"
"Get lost! Why don't you cut open yours?"
“
Old Man didn't say that sentence!"
Everyone relaxed after the Night Demon left, the crisis passed.
Hastily dispose of the corpses.
"Is this letter written, and they were killed by the Night Demon, what reason is there? When does the Night Demon kill people, does he need a reason?"
This makes sense."
Many still felt lingering fear: "There's no denying, the Night Demon is... too terrifying. Just hearing the soft rain, he started killing ten people."
"Listening to the voice, it was somewhat gentle."
"Legend has it that when the Night Demon went to the the for and in to he's,,,,077, he never gone in before to start his control."
."
,."
Someone raised objections.
the Night.
"Really, do you know who that guy was provoking the Night Demon? The Night Demon would kill with a single blade, who could kill me?"
Wu Lianlian said, her face turning pale: "Up to now, there are many sisters at home, I really can't stand it. Just now, how could the Night Demon not have killed me by now?"
Zhao Wu Shang laughed while looking at a few people.
"Oh well... this sentence makes one's legs turn to jelly, saying: 'Bro, you shouldn't say this anymore... I just thought of this and almost wet myself. Now, hearing this sentence, my legs can't use the strength to stand."
Others also had pale faces turn white: "Don't mention... later, who would be Night Demon kill, who wants to revenge? Anyway, I don't dare. I just felt the shock... almost got out of it..."
"Seeing the Night Demon's cultivation, it should be Martial Marquis level, and the rank is not low. ours."
"... Really, the Night Demon!"
"That aura... my heavens..."
As everyone was discussing, the Starlight commander finally descended from the sky.
"What are you all doing here? What the hell is going on?"
Taking a step forward to look at the corpses, he couldn't help but gasp three steps back: "Night Demon? Is the Night Demon here?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Wu Shang said, "The Night Demon just came."
Instantly, the Starlight Commander’s eyes showed some panic, glancing around, he said, "This killer... what for? I haven't offended him!"
The Starlight Commander said this with a grave expression.
This, everyone saw clearly.
But it didn’t affect his image, because, facing the Night Demon's killing aura, no one would dare.
"Just now the Night Demon came..."
Zheng Yunqi recounted carefully, "It's specifically these... then killed ten people with the sword."
."
The Starlight Commander suddenly turned furious, "When did I investigate him? I just asked, why is the Night Demon not in the White Cloud Continent already being investigated? The Night Demon must be crazy, right? To come to my branch office and kill with a sword? Why didn't he go kill the Guardians? This killer!"
Everyone understood completely.
It seems our Starlight Commander and the Night Demon are completely unrelated lines.
Though they belong to the One Heart Sect, the Night Demon Lord is much higher in rank than the Starlight Commander.
And his martial strength is also much higher.
Oh, Commander, so pitiable... a few girls instantly felt a bit heartache.
"After killing ten people, how do you explain it to the family?"
The Starlight Commander frowned in worry, saying,
"Commander, don’t worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, the Night Demon killing people... even the headquarters believes the Night Demon should kill with a purpose."
Wu Lianlian comforted.
The Starlight Commander's eyes lit up, "The Night Demon has such a reputation at headquarters?"
"Of course, he has the authority to kill, and what does he dare?"
The Starlight Commander gritted his teeth and said, "Report this matter to your respective families. When someone dies, they need to know."
"Alright, Commander, this matter, we will handle it."
"Regarding the inspection, these few days, we need to strictly investigate to see if there are any outside the law."
"As we clean up the bodies, the smell of the bodies has also disappeared."
The Starlight Commander, with everyone entering the hall, sat in the treasure seats, if thinking about the matter of the Guard Pavilion, Zhao Wu Shang explained the Starlight Commander about how to deal with the soft-spoken matters, everyone laughed afterward."
After sensing this, the Starlight Commander felt a close connection with many.
Would fear the law and regulations.
Would fear the law.
This is very real.
Adding to this, solving the crisis with the Night Demon sect... and the recent events have made everyone feel a strange mix of respect and fear.
This person, though strict and terrifying, sometimes unreasonable, I am afraid, but I can die for him!"
